Full textShort‐term surgical missions (STSMs) provide an opportunity for the global health care community to address the surgical needs of developing communities worldwide. Conditions that require a one‐time intervention, such as cleft lip and palate, clearly demonstrate the positive impact these short‐term missions can have on the individual patient. However, the long‐term impact on the local health care system, economy, and community is less clear. Many in the global health care community believe that STSMs should seek to have a long‐term impact by establishing sustainable health care programs. Information regarding the impact of STSMs is scarce, however, due to limited regulation, research, and data from short‐term missions. This study investigates how short‐term international missions impact health care sustainability in low‐income and developing communities. This study uses a systematic review to investigate the impact of STSMs on health care sustainability. Additional outcomes included education and skills‐transfer, cost‐effectiveness, and cultural awareness. 15 articles were included in the study. The following outcomes were found: sustainability in 9 studies, education and skills‐transfer in 5, cost‐effectiveness in 4, and cultural awareness in 3. STSMs can successfully establish sustainable programs abroad. Factors that contribute to this success include education and training of host providers, cost‐effective services, and cultural awareness. Understanding the complex dynamic between STSMs and developing communities is key to developing effective and sustainable programs that offer long‐term benefits to those communities.

Full textShort-term treatment outcomes of children starting ART in the ICU, general medical wards and outpatient HIV clinics at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital (RCWMCH): A Retrospective Cohort Study. Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has proven to decrease morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected children and improve immunologic, virologic and clinical outcomes. As clinical management policies evolved, an emphasis on early infant testing was adopted resulting in an increasing number of children being diagnosed and commenced on therapy before the onset of severe disease progression. However, a fair proportion still remain untested and subsequently present to hospital with advanced immunosuppression and severe disease. Since the advent of the 2013 national Standard Treatment Guidelines which encourage expedited initiation of ART within 7 days of HIV diagnosis in all children under the age of 12 months and in those with advanced immunosuppression, it is likely that many HIV-infected children are being initiated on ART during hospitalisation in South Africa. No local published data on these outcomes exist. We assessed the short-term outcomes of children initiated on ART in the intensive care unit (ICU), general medical wards (GMWs) and outpatient HIV clinics (OHCs) at RCWMCH. Methods: Structured Literature Review A Pubmed search looking at outcomes of treatment naïve HIV-infected children and adolescents up to 19 years of age living in South Africa commenced on 1st line ART regimens in accordance to the national guidelines presiding at the time, over a 10 year period was performed. This served to identify gaps in knowledge around paediatric ART in a South African context warranting further research. Retrospective Cohort Study We conducted a retrospective cohort study of HIV-infected children <13 years of age, commenced on first line ART between January 2008 and December 2011 at RCWMCH. Outcome measures included death, virologic suppression and changes in CD4 count and percentage. Kaplan-Meier estimates, multivariate Cox proportional hazard ratios and logistic regression were used to estimate outcomes 6 months after ART initiation. Results: Structured Literature Review This review identified several knowledge gaps. One of these gaps, the treatment outcomes of children started on ART at different service levels within tertiary health care settings was addressed in our retrospective cohort study and described in section C of this dissertation Retrospective Cohort Study Seven hundred and forty-nine children were included: 106 were commenced on ART in the ICU, 509 in the GMWs and 127 in the OHCs. Four hundred and ninety-two (65.7%) children were <12 months old. Children in the ICU and GMW cohorts were significantly younger than the OHC cohort (median ages: 3 and 5 months respectively vs. 22 months) and had lower WAZ scores (-2.48 and -2.33 respectively vs -1.14). Three hundred and eighty-five (51.4%) children qualified for rapid ART initiation within 7 days of HIV diagnosis or hospitalisation, based on CD4 criteria in the 2013 national Standard Treatment Guidelines. Overall mortality was 6.4% (CI: 4.9 - 8.4). Mortality was significantly higher in the ICU cohort i.e. 14 (13.2%) deaths compared to 28 (5.5%) and 5 (3.9%) deaths in the GMWs and OHCs cohorts, logrank p=0.004. Predictors of mortality included being moderately underweight HR 2.4 (CI: 1.1 – 5.2; p=0.02), severely underweight HR 3.2 (CI: 1.6 – 6.5; p=0.001), absence of caregiver counselling sessions HR 2.9 (CI: 1.4 – 6.0; p=0.005) and ART initiation in ICU HR 2.6 (CI: 1.4 – 4.9; p=0.003). Conclusion: The findings of our retrospective cohort study serve as a basis for understanding the implications of ART initiation in children during hospitalisation.

Along with the increase of incomes, the raise of educational level and general knowledge, the concept of insurance has been gradually accepted by the public, and there are more and more people choosing insurances as claim planning and risk transfer. In recent years, the change of society’s structure, the aging population and the low birth rate are serious issues; therefore, the medical insurance is indispensable either for individuals or for families risk management. The life insurance market in Taiwan is extremely competitive. The efficiency, quality and satisfaction of claim services normally represent an insurance company’s competitiveness, and they are also the important factors for the public to opt an ideal insurance firm. Under the prevalence of utilitarianism, the insurance claim is used by schemers as a tool, and the frequent cases of insurance fraud, which cause a grave impact on every life insurance company’s financial number and even a waste of social resources, have been appearing in recent years. This study analyzes the samples of claim cases filed by the insurance policy holders who have already been insured for or less than three years. There are a total of 341 cases, who had added a medical insurance and later filed a claim, collected between January, 2010 and June, 2013 from A company as a object of a study. Based on these cases, the possible factors of the short-term claim rates of medical insurance are determined. As indicated by the analysis, the claim rates of insurance policy holders (the insured), who pay the initial premium by non-yearly basis or are told that there are other companies providing the same service, are higher than the average. Besides, the claim rates of insurance policy holders (the insured), who pay the initial premium by non-yearly basis and designate the legal heir as the beneficiary of death benefit or are told that there are other companies providing the same service, are also higher than the average. The prediction analyses employed in the groups of high claim and low claim rates exhibit that the number of young insurance policy holders, who make a claim in a short insured period, is increasing; the probability of insurance policy holders, who designate the legal heir as the beneficiary of death benefit, is highest among high claim rates group. The result of this study can serve as a reference for life insurance companies to conduct the risk selection of underwriting practices and risk management of claims. As a result, the potentially risky insureds should be under strict scrutiny so as to prevent moral hazard and preclude improper claims.

The life expectancy of people has increased steadily. If it was not the cause of healthy aging, medical claims will be high in probability relatively. In recent years, the life insurance company claimed that the expenditure of health insurance rise year by year. Under such environmental conditions, the medical of short-term claims did not like to be seen in the life insurance companies. This short-term claims may imply improper sales and attract customers to insure bad motives. The purpose of this study was to view from the life insurance company underwriting and claims, explore the factors of sales and policyholders on medical short-term claims. This study investigated that the factor affecting the quality of the company's business to Pearson correlation analysis salesman background, the sales's organization features, policyholders and policy background characteristics, review whether these factors and short-term claims insurance were correlated. The results is as shown as below: 1. The older the age of a salesman and the higher level of high school or vocational school, the higher the probability of short-term claims for the managing position of solicitation on insurance cases. 2. The bigger the sales organization has the solicitation of insurance cases gets the higher probability on short-term claims. 3. The insured with younger age and those who are female gets the higher probability on short-term claims. 4. The time on insurance is longer with medical check and increasing insurance fees gets the higher probability on short-term claims. One salesman who was able to make benefits for an insurance company depends on the quality to attract rather than the amount of performance. Those salesmen who stands on the front line facing the policyholders to have risk selection, in order to avoid improper solicitation and unfiltered policyholders with personal intentions.

Medical insurance has always been a major part of claims for insurance companies; in most cases, clients and insurance companies are not equally informed, and thus companies would be extra cautious when approving clients’ applications and need to examine related medical reports when clients make their claims. Under such circumstances, short-term claims are the last scenario that insurance companies want to see. This study will focus on determinants for short-term medical insurance claims, analyzing factors that have influence on short-term claims and discussing the relation between medical insurance and short-term claims. The prediction and analysis in this study are based on Logistic Regression Model. The variables in this study are independent ones, including insured amount of primary insurance, insured amount of insurance riders, annual premium, type of premium payment, type of medical exam, gender, if it requires the same insurer, if it includes surgery, investigation, emergency care, level of in treatment hospital, and age. This study will cover a discussion on the positive and negative correlation among the variables. This study aims at helping insurance companies achieve the practical prevention of risks under the influence of variables in the perspective of short-term medical insurance claims; insurance companies can further have an access to correct information and achieve a better balance and stable performance in insurance approval management and policy standards design.

When an urgent epidemic situation breaks out, a satisfactory schedule of medical resource supply orders and transit plan can help a medical system efficiently serve drastically increased demand of medical goods to patients. It can also help effectively reduce the operating cost and maintenance the medical service quality. Currently medical goods are ordered by the union decision center in a Taiwan medical system with electronic purchase systems and decision support systems. However, the important parameters (e.g., the order/transit frequency, the order quantity, and the safe stock capacity) are manually determined by staff with experience. Lacking a systematic optimization analysis, this approach rather depends on the staff’s subjective judgments. As a result, feasible but inferior decisions have usually been made. In particular, under an urgent epidemic situation, the demand of medical goods would suddenly and largely increase, which would make it difficult to efficiently revise the original schedule with existent resources to respond to the incident. Additionally, in actual operations, the demands of medical goods often change stochastically, possibly causing the original schedule to lose its optimality. Consequently, the effect of medical system would be decreased and the operating cost be increased. Therefore, in this research, based on a medical system’s perspective, we systematically consider the expected epidemic period, the expected demand of goods for every time slot in all hospitals and their departments, the transportation cost of goods, the stock capacity and other constraints, as well as the integrated transit plan of medical goods in the dimensions of time and space, to construct a deterministic medical goods order and transit scheduling model. Further, considering the stochastic demand of medical goods that occur in real time operations, we construct a stochastic medical goods order and transit scheduling model. These two models are expected to be useful planning tools for medical system to determine effective resource supply orders and transit schedules under urgent epidemic situations. We employed time-space network techniques with the system optimization perspective to construct a deterministic real-time scheduling model, which include several time-space networks to express the flows of different medical goods in the dimensions of time and space. The model is formulated as a multiple commodity network flow problem that is characterized as NP-hard. Then, we modified the fixed demand parameters in the deterministic scheduling model as random variables to develop a stochastic real-time scheduling model, which is more complicated than the deterministic scheduling model. To better solve the stochastic model, we used problem decomposition techniques to develop the heuristic to solve the stochastic problem. In addition, to evaluate the deterministic and stochastic scheduling models in actual operations, we develop an evaluation method. Finally, in order to test the models and solution algorithms in actual operations, we perform a case study based on a domestic large-scale medical system (containing several hospitals)’s operating data. The preliminary results are good, showing that the models could be useful for medical system planning medical goods order and transit scheduling.

Full textBackground and Purpose: We aim to determine if the very short-term blood pressure variability (BPV) after successful endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke has a relevant impact in the clinical outcome. Methods: This is a prospective multicenter study with inclusion of consecutive AIS patients with occlusion of intracranial anterior circulation vessels who achieved successful recanalization (modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia grades 2b-3) after thrombectomy. Very short-term BPV was assessed by spectral analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure values recorded by finger plethysmography with Finometer device. Outcomes included independence at 90 days (modified Rankin scale 0-2) and the initial clinical response to mechanical thrombectomy. Results: We included 121 patients. Increased BPV at high frequencies (rapid oscillations) was independently associated with poor functional outcome at 90 days (normalized units, odds ratio (OR) = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.35 - 0.88, p=0.01; low/high frequency ratio OR = 1.38, CI 1.09 - 1.76, p<0.01) and early neurological recovery (normalized units, OR = 0.67, CI 0.46 - 0.98, p=0.04) in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The magnitude of rapid oscillations of blood pressure has a significant impact in early neurological recovery and late functional outcome of ischemic stroke patients after successful recanalization. Very short-term BPV can be assessed quickly throughout the post intervention period and potentially contribute to a more efficient blood pressure control in AIS patients submitted to endovascular treatment.

Aging population increases the demand of medical services and related healthcare, especially in kidney failure which consumes huge amount of medical resources. Kidney failure is divided in acute and chronic forms (also as known as End Stage Renal Disease, ESRD). Short-term hemodialysis catheter acts as a temporary access for hemodialysis until fistula can be planed, placed, and matured when the kidney failure happens acutely or diagnosis of kidney failure is confirmed. In this research, we choose the step 3 of Decision Process – Alternatives evaluation from EKB model and set Short-term hemodialysis catheter as the research object to study its applications in the Taiwan’s medical market, and furthermore to study the alternatives evaluation of buying Short-term hemodialysis catheter through interviewing the medical professionals. Focus on further study the five research phases of service quality and marketing mix (4P) which are product, price, place, and promotion. After processing three questionnaires of Delphi technique, we conclude the results of five research phases which are service quality, produce, price, place, and promotion in alternatives evaluation of Decision Process. According the research result, we further conclude that “service quality” and “product” are the two major evaluation factors when medical professionals work on the alternatives evaluation of Decision Process. Salespeople should emphasize the services of reliability and assurance for service quality,. Regarding product, the functionality, design, and its auxiliary accessories are the primary factors for evaluation. The price should be set equal to quality. For the distribution network (place) and promotion will still remain the traditional ways for supplying.
